There is no such thing.
linux (and unix) do not rely on a file suffix, but rathter on the executeable bit set for that file.
see
man chmodYou must always face the curtain with a bow.

Check this article on Linux File Permissions.
Check this website for basic linux commands.
Open Terminal and navigate the folder having file using cd command. Execute chmod command to set execution bit :
If you are using Graphical Interface, right click on file and set execution bit in its properties.Code:chmod +x <filename>
It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
